“There is something very special about summer family vacations,” said Backroads Founder and President, Tom Hale. “Last year families mainly stayed in the US due to Covid uncertainty, but this year we’re seeing families tilt back to international travel in a huge way. Because we’re anticipating this summer to be our biggest travel season yet, now’s the best time to lock in your vacation plans while space is still available.”
